Every business on the planet needs insurance. In fact, nearly one trillion ($1T) dollars are spent globally each year on commercial insurance to protect businesses from losses due to fires, injuries, lawsuits, etc. However, commercial insurance is plagued with a big problem. Businesses and insurers don’t trust each other. This results in a lot of economic waste: Missed opportunities, mispricing, and mistakes. Everyone is worse off.
